Cloudflare Pricing
It could range from free to $1,500 a month. I put all my clients on Cloudflare, so it's around 20 or 30 customers. One of my clients has more than two dozen domains on Cloudflare, so they pay $20 times 20 domains. He's paying $400 a month. It isn't cheap, but it's totally worth it.

Cloudflare's biggest plan for initial businesses is $200 per month, and if you're an enterprise, you'll likely exceed that on either AWS or Cloudflare itself.
For comparison, Akamai's minimum billing starts at a couple of thousand dollars. That's where Cloudflare shines for smaller businesses – it's ten times cheaper than Akamai.
Interestingly, even their enterprise solution is cheaper than other platforms like Akamai and Amazon CloudFront.

The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive. It aligns well with the value of their solution.
View full review »I rate Cloudflare eight out of 10 for overall value. It's cost-effective, but I think they should have a custom pricing model for enterprise customers based on the features you use. That's why I think it would be helpful to have a dedicated account manager to periodically review and address our usage.
View full review »I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose Cloudflare or opt for the support.

It's a premium model. You can start at zero and work your way up to the enterprise model, which has a very high pricing level.
There are rivals on the market who provide the same solution at a lesser cost.

Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations.

In terms of licensing costs, we don't pay for licensing for Cloudflare. We only establish communication, then for peering, Cloudflare takes care of the cross-connection in different data centers.

There seems to be no official pricelist for enterprise-level customers and it is more of a trial-and-error estimation. The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization.
View full review »The original setup cost was zero, and the monthly cost is around $30 for three sites using the Business Cloudflare plan.

Cost for all services I have researched in Cloudflare is straightforward, and they don't include hidden fees. I'm not a heavy CDN user since I don't get much traffic, so I can't speak too much about the value for their CDN.

For now, the cost of Cloudflare is very reasonable compared to everything else. It's hard to say what will be down the track. Sometimes these companies offer very good deals early on and then annual fees increase as the companies become more successful.

View full review »You can get a lot out of the lower accounts.
View full review »We don’t have advice, since we mostly rely on their free services such as DNS hosting. In general, their pricing is fair, but the price scaling is way too steep. For example, to go from 200 to 5000 dollars does not make any sense at all.
View full review »Most small businesses should be good with their free plan. However, as website traffic & business grows, I think one should invest in their paid plans. It's worth every single penny.
View full review »I’m not able to comment on this because I am using the free website plan.
View full review »The solution is a good choice for sites that require multiple types of users and multiple types of content (e.g. Drupal sites) with thousands, or tens of thousands of users or more.
View full review »I recommend the free plan for most users.
View full review »In my opinion the Pro plan 20$/month is the best solution. It includes the core features of CloudFlare which is pretty much enough. If you do not have SSL, you can also use the free plan, which is almost exactly the same as Pro, just without the SSL support. The free plan has SSL support, but it does only support modern web browsers. This means that some of your customers may not reach your website if you are using SSL with a free plan.

I think the pricing is competitive.
I think as far as licensing is concerned it's pretty straightforward because it's based on domain. It's just that sometimes domains could be tricky with some customers.

I haven’t gone through the other pricing plans. For the services I am using, it is a bit expensive. It is worth the price when you weight it against time and cost.
View full review »Start off with their free plan. However, major DDoS protection is only provided with their paid plans. I would start with the free plan to test or to simply move DNS off your local server to them to free up resources.

The solution has many features but there are ones that you need to pay for. Sometimes you have to find out which is available for free and which you have to pay for.

So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed.
View full review »The fact that CloudFlare offers a free solution, which is more than enough if you're running a low-medium traffic is just amazing. As far the pricing goes, although it's a bit pricey, it offers great value if you're running your entire business online. Content optimization and delivery is key, and CloudFlare does a great job on providing that.
View full review »The licensing costs for this solution are on a yearly basis. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees.
